This one is close. If he had 71 more Runs he would have had the 1500 mark that virtually assures you induction. His batting average wasn’t particularly strong. He stole a lot of bases, but was more consistent than dominant in that category. His HOF yardsticks fall just short. He did set the table as a leadoff hitter for the Sox and helped them win four World Series titles, including an amazing bare-handed grab that saved the game for Boston. I’m guessing being part of that mini-dynasty helped get him in. I’m on the fence with this one. I guess I’ll give him my nod because of the World Series titles.
